Twelve Asian countries, Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, are committed to preserving and increasing the number of snow leopards in the wild. These countries declared October 23, the anniversary of 2013's first Global Forum on the Conservation of the Snow Leopard, International Snow Leopard Day.
